Low Fees
Wise offers competitive and transparent fees compared to traditional banks and many other money transfer services.
Real Exchange Rates
Wise uses the mid-market exchange rate, meaning users get the real exchange rate without any hidden markups.
Fast Transfers
Many transfers through Wise are processed quickly, often within a few hours or a day, depending on the destination country and payment method.
Multi-Currency Accounts
Users can hold and manage money in multiple currencies with Wise’s Borderless Account, making it easier for those who deal with international payments regularly.
Transparent Pricing
Wise is upfront about their fees and the total cost of a transfer, so users know exactly how much they’ll pay and how much the recipient will receive.
User-Friendly Interface
Wise offers a clean and intuitive application and web interface, making it easy for users to navigate and complete transactions.
I don’t think you need to be a holder of both. I put my mom on my Wells Fargo account and she sent to my account. There is also https://wise.com/us/ . This one I have used to send to someones account in Vietnam. It does have slightly higher fee. But it goes straight into their account. From Wells Fargo I would have to go and get USD then exchange it to Vietnamese currency.

Get a Wise account. Open one in your local currency, and one in US currency. I was doing that for the first few months.

I’ve used Wise for bank payments from international clients before: https://wise.com/us/ that way you’re not giving them your actual bank info but the process is similar on the client’s end.

Also, if you want to avoid high wire transfer fees, most people use Wise. I’ve been using them for years with no issues, usually my money shows up the next business day.

They told me to fill out and email back the membership form (PDF) to them, then they’d send me an invoice. They recommended that I could pay the invoice through Wise. So I filled in and emailed back the form and created a Wise account.

If you are just needing a bank card that works but not tied to a Finnish bank. Wise allows you to hold multiple currencies at once with little to no fees. I set it up in the US and had my card in less than a week. Its worked on every trip I have been on including my recent trip to Helsinki.

As far as I can see, https://wise.com/us/ is in all ways a better way to simplify cross-border flows than crypto. When working with overseas teams, it is literally how they ask to be paid.

There are some money transfer sites such as Wise, but those also charge fees, for conversion plus for the transfer, so probably aren’t any more cost effective.

So, Paysend worked fine for me – but others have had some trouble with it, including my partner. He shared this instructional on his instagram, he used a different service called Wise and got through successfully with that.

Consider using something like transferwise (https://wise.com/us/) as you’ll be paying quite a lot in fees if you transfer usd to a non usd account at Commerzbank (plus any fees you have to pay your US bank).

For the death record of Bertha Stahn, and the marriage record of Helene and Richard, you should be clear of any time restrictions based on the privacy laws if you want to try for civil records from the Wriezen Standesamt (Registry Office). Heck, it can’t hurt to ask about August and Bertha’s marriage either, just in case it fell within the town’s civil jurisdiction. I would email Frau Mix; she will forward to…

Get a travel currency card/account, such asWise. You can get an USD account from them and transfer money to it as you would do to any other USD accounts. They have really good exchange rates so you can skip the conversation at ATM as others have suggested.
